Domestic Assault Charges in Newmarket
No two domestic assault cases are identical. The people involved, the allegations, and the circumstances all vary—but most cases tend to fall into one of two groups:

The parties wish to reconcile as soon as possible
In cases where the parties hope to move forward together, we work swiftly to bring the case to resolution. In many instances, we’ve resolved matters in under a week when all sides are cooperative.

One or both parties have no desire to reconcile
If reconciliation is not on the table, we continue to move the case forward efficiently—especially if important concerns like immigration status or travel restrictions are involved.
Domestic assault allegations carry significant legal consequences in Ontario, often with stricter penalties under section 718.2(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code.
Common Resolutions Include:
- Charges being withdrawn
- Peace bonds (no criminal conviction)
- Diversion or discharge agreements
We handle these matters discreetly and professionally, with your best interests as our top priority.
Possible Legal Results
The outcome of your case will depend on your specific facts, history, and legal arguments. Potential outcomes include:
- Dismissal of charges
- Peace bond settlements
- Conditional or absolute discharges
- Probation or suspended sentences
- Conditional house arrest orders
- Custodial sentences for more serious matters
We will guide you through every legal option available and fight for the resolution that secures your freedom and future.
